On the other hand, budget flights being able to provide international services is a real threat to the commercial flights, in which airlines which are tied to their countries comes as a hurdle in to all flight traveling to or from the country in efforts to protect their national carriers eg Singapore Airlines is ties to Singapore and Britirsh airways are tied to Great Britain.

Case Study
TIX4U.com -- An Online Ticketing Company
Growing up in the Southeast of the USA, Randy Lee had two passions: music and sports. Some of his best memories were traveling with his dad to a large city in a neighboring state to watch major league baseball and football games. Inevitably, Randy and his dad would arrive at the stadium in plenty of time to negotiate with others to trade tickets for better seats. They would always have a couple of extra tickets to sell in case they needed more money to pay for their upgraded seats.
When Randy attended college in the same city, he found himself again negotiating ticket sales and trades for music concerts. He became so well-known that many students, and even some professors, approached him for tickets to sold-out shows and sporting events. Randy majored in computer science, and after graduation, he moved back home to work in a small IT department with a manufacturing company.
Although working full time, Randy never lost his passion for sporting events and concerts. After a couple of months, Randy developed a website, TIX4U.com, for customers who wanted to trade concert tickets over the Internet. His business strategy was fairly simple. He developed a message board for users who were interested in buying, selling, or trading tickets to contact each other. For this service, he would charge a yearly membership fee.

The acquisition quickly ran into difficulties caused in part by the outgoing management of Safeway changing their accounting systems just six weeks before the transaction was completed. The result was a series of profit warnings being issued by Morrisons, poor financial results and a need to revert to manual systems.

Morrisons store in Consett, County Durham, a former Safeway branch
The programme of store conversions from Safeway to Morrisons was the largest of its kind in British retail history, focusing initially on the retained stores which were freehold, over 25,000 sq ft (2,300 m2) with separate car parks. Within a few weeks, Safeway carrier bags were replaced by those of Morrisons and the new owner's own-brand products began to appear in Safeway stores.
Morrisons currently has 375 superstores in the United Kingdom (including new store openings by the end of 2007), including those it retained following its purchase of Safe Way. Until 2004, Morrisons superstores were largely concentrated in the English Midlands and the North of England but had expanded southwards, beginning with a store at Erith, Great London, which opened in 1998. Most Morrisons stores operate from large superstores with a core focus on groceries and home wares, with fewer electronics, clothing and furnishings than the company's main supermarket rivals.
Morrisons strategy is based on doing the basics efficiently, selling predominantly food at lower prices, and......

...STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
Strategy Control
Wal-Mart is a company that in essence appears to operate within the realm of the traditional approach to strategic controls. By this I mean the management formulates strategies, sets goals, implements those strategies, and measures them against their predetermined goals. The feedback received comes in many forms, but the most utilized resource is the numbers generated by each store and the forwarded to corporate headquarters through its vast digital network. Wal-Mart operates with a contemporary approach because each of the four characteristics are realized and acted upon almost on a daily basis.
It wasn’t always that simple, back before the implementation of computers Wal-Mart used ledgers to track this data. The principle of tracking previous year’s data or forecasting as it is called now was something that Sam Walton instilled in his store managers. Sam Walton would instil responsibility within his department managers and hold them accountable. This approach was not without reward. By allowing his associates and managers to be creative, those same principles or best practices were emulated into other stores. It was this kind of thinking that lead to new strategies and innovations for Wal-Mart. This creative process which was started by Sam Walton was a driving force in the creation of Wal-Mart’s culture. In light of what Sam Walton’s original strategy and where Wal-Mart is today there is a gap that exists between the company and......
